Annual Report 2024
ABOUT THE COVER
The cover of the 2024 Annual Report is inspired by the three-pronged guiding principles of Stewardship, Synergy, and Simplicity. We were given all of God’s creation to care for and make it more fruitful. That is Stewardship.
In our work, we have various resources at our disposal to help uplift our colleagues and clients, and to share the love of God. We must manage these resources responsibly so that, by making the most of what we have been entrusted with, we do God’s work on earth.
As a robust organization of unique and diverse individuals, TSPI’s work relies on Synergy. Our strength lies in our diversity as an organization.
Our collaborations and engagements with like-minded partners who share our advocacies makes it easier to reach our common goals.
We welcome and apply innovative technologies and thinking to simplify processes through our transformation programs. We serve clients who have simple dreams–we do everything to help them reach their aspirations to have self-dignity, to be sufficient while boosting efficiency in providing them services.
As we live our purpose in life, we need to make an account of how well we performed our sacred responsibility. Hand in hand, stewardship, synergy, and simplicity will help TSPI achieve its vision and mission.
Annual Report 2023
ABOUT THE COVER
For the year 2023, Tulay sa Pag-unlad, Inc. (TSPI) embraced the theme, Empowered by 3Gs, namely, God-centeredness, Gratefulness, and Generosity.
God-centeredness best describes TSPI’s vision, mission, core values, and transformation framework. It encourages dependence on God’s plan, strengthens faith in Him even during challenging times, and provides a moral framework based on His word for one’s ethical behavior and for every action and decision that has to be made. Gratefulness is the posture of TSPI’s heart in celebrating God’s faithfulness and goodness for every blessing received from Him and for every act of service it renders to the communities. Generosity goes beyond giving bountifully and more on finding great joy in simplicity and sacrificial giving.
Annual Report 2022
ABOUT THE COVER
“Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (Matthew 20: 28)
Jesus washing the feet of His disciples during the Last Supper was an act of humility. With a towel around his waist and a basin, He offered to do the lowly work of servants, presaging His ultimate act of humility and love on the Cross. The moment, recollected on Maundy Thursday, inspired TSPI’s 41st anniversary theme, “Serve like Jesus,” as TSPI President Rene E. Cristobal enjoined employees. “
After surviving the challenge of the pandemic, by God’s faithfulness, the theme is a timely reminder that we are in TSPI to serve unselfishly,” he said. “We feel God’s love and bear witness to it. So, we pass on the blessing to our fellowmen—selflessly— without expectation. The theme is also a way of reminding and reassuring our clients that we are here to serve them.”
The statue in the cover, created by renowned sculptor Ed Castrillo in 2010, was discovered by TSPI Executive Director Alice Z. Cordero in a cabinet in the basement of the TSPI premises. She brought it out of storage, had it cleaned and
displayed as a reminder of one of TSPI’s core values.
